Cristiano Ronaldo finally responds to rape allegations

Truth will come out' - Ronaldo responds to rape allegations

Juventus striker Cristiano

 Ronaldo insists 

“it’s not my obsession” to win individual 

awards, and expects 

“the truth will come out”

 on rape allegations.

The Portuguese superstar was said to be 

incensed that he didn’t win

 UEFA’s player of

 the year, and he didn’t attend FIFA’s The 

Best awards.

Some have even suggested

 he feels there’s

 an agenda against him 

after leaving Real

 

Madrid.

“It’s not my obsession to win individual 

awards,” Ronaldo insisted, 

speaking in the 

Press conference ahead 

of the Manchester

 

United game tomorrow.

“I need to concentrate on

 Juve. It’s been a 

fantastic time, everything 

is going well and

 the team is fantastic.

“Winning individual awards isn’t an 

obsession. It helps, but it’s not everything.

“I won’t make comparisons

 [to Real Madrid],

 I’m happy to be playing here and I was 

happy to play at Manchester United and 

Real. I consider myself a happy and lucky

 man.

“I'm adapting to Italian football.

 It's different

, but I'm having a lot of fun. 

My teammates 

are helping me and I’m very happy to play 

for this fantastic club.

“On and off the pitch I always smile. I’m 

happy, I feel like a happy man. 

I’m playing 

for a fantastic club, 

I have a fantastic family,

 four children and my health. I have 

everything.

“The rest doesn’t disturb me.”

Nevada police have re-opened an 

investigation into an

 alleged rape in 2009, 

and CR7 was asked about

 those allegations.

“You’re not listening. I’m a happy, happy

 man. We issued a statement a couple of 

weeks ago. I’m not here to tell lies, I feel 

confident in the work of my lawyers.

“I’m having fun playing football,

 I’m enjoying

 life and I have people who take care of 

these things. The truth will come out.”

The striker is very familiar 

with Old Trafford,

 having made his breakthrough at 

Manchester United.

“It will be a difficult game, United have a 

great team,” Ronaldo said.

“United are at home,

 but we’re Juventus. If 

we play well, and 

we play the way the Coach

 wants us to play, we can win this game.

“Of course we have to respect Manchester 

United, they have a fantastic team and a 

fantastic Coach [Jose Mourinho].

“That said, I expect 

Juventus to win. Going 

back to Manchester is 

always really

emotional for me.”
